7. Continue to feed the cable and rope through the Slider Car #19 then separate them and tie the end of the temporary rope to the Main Arm #14 so it does not accidentally pull free.
8. With a second temporary rope join once again to the wire end and continue to feed up the Mast #27 through the
plastic stopers and carefully around the Mast Wall Pulley #24. Continue to gently feed the wire and rope around the
internal top Double Swivel Pulley #26 then detach the ‘P’ Fitting #25. You will now have totally removed the wire,
the ‘P’ Fitting #25 and the thimble, the metal loop, can be reused if the wire is cut just above the crimp or ferrule.
9. With a new length of wire 7.5m in length join one end to the second temporary rope and carefully feed it back
through the top Double Swivel Pulley #26 and Mast Wall Pulley #24. It helps to have a bit of extra wire to work with,
you can cut it to length afterwards. The finished length is closer to 6.5m.
10. Continue to join your new wire to the temporary rope running through the Slider Car #19 and Main Arm #14.
Push and pull the rope / wire combination through the internal Slider Car pulley #28, you can help them emerge
from the hole in the Slider Car by using your alan key below the rope in relation to the umbrella and then directing
the wire upwards as it comes out.
11. Create some slack in the wire below the Main Arm #14, approximately the length of the Main Arm itself then
proceed to pull the wire up through the Main Arm towards and into the Top Hub #11. You can help the rope and
wire pass through the internal pulley by using your alan key in the access hole in the centre of the Top Hub.
12. Remove the rope from the cable and push the cable back through the tube locator. You may need to remove
some excess tape but leave at least the first layer of wrapping to help the cable keep its shape.
13. Make a new anchor at the end of the cable, like the original one you cut off. Place the tube locator in position on
top of the Bottom Hub #6 and check that the cable is not wrapped around any of the arms. Now secure it to the
Bottom Hub #6.

14. The next step is to go back to the top of the Mast #27 and you will find that you are left with a trailing end of
wire. Refer to the parts diagram and compare your wire path to the picture, it will be the same but it is best to
double check. Make sure the internal pulleys are at their upper most position by turning the handle back and forth
and the umbrella canopy is pushed back against the mast. From the top of the Mast measure 30cm of wire, wrap
with tape and make a cut. Apply a new ferrule and make a new anchor point by reusing the thimble and ‘P’ Fitting
#25 you cut off the old wire earlier. This extra length of wire will give you the opportunity to cut the anchor points
off again if future repairs are needed up to 2 to 3 times.
15. Reattach your new Mast Wall anchor and make sure the wire path looks like the picture on the top of the
previous page. Strap the canopy to the Mast #27 then create some tension on the wire by turning the handle. Stand
the umbrella on the spigot and test the operation until fully horizontal and open. Before you close the canopy look
down the Mast at the wire, it should run straight down from the Mast Wall Pulley #24 to the top Double Swivel
Pulley #26 and back up again to the ‘P’ Fitting #25. Close the umbrella and check again, if you find the wire is twisted
detach the ‘P’ Fitting and adjust. Also check the internal rope, it too should travel up then directly down without any
twists. This can be adjusted by using a pole with a screw at the end at a right angle, revolve the bottom Double
Swivel Pulley until the rope is in the correct position when the umbrella is closed.
